Summary: The present study evaluates the impact of heat and high-pressure homogenization on the properties of low-quality gum tragacanth. The results show that these processes significantly decrease the water absorption, viscosity, and emulsifying properties of the solution, while increasing solubility and clarity. Additionally, these processes also cause structure degradation and molecular weight decline. Rheology measurements are more affected by homogenization than heat treatment.

Summary: In this study, the effects of water-soluble fraction of Persian gum (PG) and high-pressure homogenization (HPH) on the characteristics of double emulsions containing crocin were investigated. The results showed that the addition of PG increased the stability of the emulsions and altered the charge on the droplet surface, reducing coalescence. Furthermore, HPH treatment further improved the stability of the emulsions. The findings suggest that the combination of PG and HPH treatment can be used to produce stable double emulsions containing crocin.

Summary: A novel gel was prepared using konjac gum (KGM) and Abelmoschus manihot (L.) medic gum (AMG) to enhance their application value. The effects of AMG content, heating temperature, and salt ions on the characteristics of KGM/AMG composite gels were investigated. The results showed that AMG content, heating temperature, and salt ions influenced the gel strength of KGM/AMG composite gels. High-temperature treatment improved the texture and rheological properties of the gels, while the addition of salt ions weakened them. The gels were classified as non-covalent gels, with hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions as the non-covalent linkages.

Summary: Tack analysis was used to support LAOS parameters (e3/e1 and v3/v1) for characterizing four types (633, 680, 213, 810) of gum base. An increase in the elastic stress component of the total stress was observed for 633, 680, and 213 at the 14.8% strain point. The gum base with code 213 exhibited the first loss of elliptical shape as the deformation rate increased. Tack analysis results and LAOS parameters provide important information about the bubble-forming properties of the gum.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of cold plasma modification (CP) of guar seed galactomannan on its structural, chemical, dietary fiber profile, and the stability of orange juice. Cold plasma treatments at different voltage and time conditions were carried out, resulting in depolymerization, cleavage of galactose side chains, and surface etching. These modifications led to increased polar oxidative functionalities and decreased particle size. The plasma-treated guar gum improved the stability of orange juice without significant changes in quality. The results demonstrate the potential of CP for the production of partially depolymerized guar gum.

Summary: In this study, fresh jaggery cubes were treated with microwave heating for different durations. The physiochemical and microbial parameters were analyzed before and after treatment. The moisture content of the treated jaggery samples was 3.98 +/- 0.59 and 3.86 +/- 0.63 for 30 s and 45 s microwave treatment, respectively. The microwave treatment at 45 s showed the most significant reduction in total plate count and yeast and mold count. It was found that microwave treatment for 45 s was the best for treating jaggery.

Summary: The atmospheric cold plasma treatment at different powers and exposure durations did not significantly affect the saponification value, triacylglycerol value, acid value, and free fatty acid value of the samples. The melting point increased by about 3% after 60 W treatment for 45 min and by about 0.9% after 50 W treatment for 30 min. The peroxide value and anisidine value slowly increased after cold plasma treatment but remained within the acceptable range. There was a significant decrease in the iodine value due to the cold plasma treatment. The TOTOX value, representing the oxidative stability of the palm oil, increased from 12.77 to a maximum value of 16.38 for the 60 W power treatment for 45 min.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
